This model was sculpted entirely in Blender This doll isn't jeweled, made of gold or magical but I hope it is something people will enjoy.įiles can be found on Cults3D and Thingiverse: I'm sure there are better ways to do things. I don't not own any BJDs and am not an experienced doll designer, so this was worked out using observation and what common sense I have. All feedback (especially from ball jointed doll makers and owners) is most welcome. It has a face plate which is attached by magnets and removable. The Fabled Hare is a ball jointed doll (also known as a BJD) and strung together with elastic cord. Maybe also this hare would feel at home in places like Wonderland or Oz? Of course my love of the clockwork driven automatons from past centuries can be seen in the styling. Recently, I decided wanted my own hare but for it to be more than a picture or a static sculpture, something that I could interact with and that would incorporate an array of my design skills. I marveled at the art and the beautiful golden hare crafted by Williams, both made a huge impression on me and still influence my work today. My personal fascination with hares started when I borrowed a copy of Kit William's Masquerade from my local library. It's also where my model takes its name from. I first heard it many years ago as it was written specially for a BBC nature documentary called "The Shadow of the Hare". The song "The Fabled Hare" by Maddy Prior beautifully explains the mystical human perception of the hare and the creature's reality. Of course, all of this is superstition born out of people misunderstanding the hare's natural habits. "I sall goe intill ane haire With sorrow and sych and meikle care And I sale goe in the Divells name Ay whill come hom again" Isobel Gowdie who was accused of witchcraft in the 17th century, claimed she could become a hare by chanting the following words Some thought the hare to be a shape shifter and a favored form of witches. (taken from "I shall wear Midnight" by Terry Pratchett) The fire, it takes her, she is not burned. Legend also says hares have an affinity with fire, leaping from and into burning fields unscathed and this image has carried to modern literature: A symbol of swiftness, they are able messengers, they represent fertility and life, indeed the last corn of the harvest was called a hare and of course, hares have always been tied to the Moon, with their shape forever in its shadows. The hare is a loyal companion to the gods or sometimes a goddess herself. Hares are beautiful, mysterious creatures and are found in mythologies all over the world. (taken from "The Little White Horse" by Elizabeth Goodge) One doesn’t often, because they have a lot of dignity and keep themselves to themselves not like rabbits, who are always underfoot but if you do win the love of a hare - well - it’s a fine thing for you. It’s a grand thing to have a hare for a friend. Hares are clever and brave and loving, and they have fairy blood in them. However, this doesn’t stop doll hobbyists from collecting them, painting them, developing characters and making accessories."A hare is not a pet but a person. Most are cast in resin and finished by hand, before being professionally painted, which is why they come with quite a hefty pricetag. What is a bjd doll?
